Any modification in the calendar which will result in introducing the proposed blank day in the year will undermine the foundations of the Jewish Sabbath, which is unalterably fixed by the Law of Israel for the seventh day of the week, while a reform in the Christian Sabbath will undermine the foundations of the Jewish economic structure, declares a resolution which has been adopted by the Jewish National Council of Palestine (Vaad Leumi), for presentation to the forthcoming Calendar Reform Conference of the League of Nations to be held in Geneva next month.
